Body Language

http://www.newsdire.com/entertainment/1596-the-deaf-rapper-sign-mark-performing-in-ethiopia.html

This link is to a story of a deaf rapper in Ethiopia. I thought this story was amazing and a great way to really kick off this blog, really who could have thought a deaf man becoming a famous rap artist?  in the article Sign Mark states,"...the way they use their body and hands while they are rapping, I felt like that’s already sign language." To this man body language or hand language means everything! If you think body language means nothing think if you were deaf how much body language would mean. Because you cannot hear the tone of someones voice it may get a little complicated without body language. You can almost tell everything someone is thinking just by watching how their body reacts to you. For instance, when a guy or girl looks at one another they can either be thinking, "wow, they are hot!" and you can completely tell just by their facial expression of the lifting eyebrow or the slight smile. Just by looking at people we are communicating some sort of message to them, whether it be good or bad.
